Departmental Seminar - Sept 25th

David Thesmar

David THESMAR is visiting with us this year, on leave from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Sloan School of Management where his is the Franco Modigliani Professor of Financial Economics and a Professor of Finance. He is also a Research Fellow at the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) and a member of the Cercle des économistes.

He is an expert in corporate finance, financial intermediation, entrepreneurship, and behavioural economics. Recently, he has studied the impact of financing constraints on the real economy. He also investigates risk management and systemic risk in banking as well as researching firm organisation and non-rational decision making on corporate strategies. His work makes systematic use of large datasets but emphasizes a parsimonious modelling approach to address economic questions. In 2007, David Thesmar was awarded the Best Young French Economist Award by Le Monde and the Cercle des économistes.

David Thesmar will present a paper, joint with Elio Nimier-David and David Sraer, at the next Deparmental Seminar on the theme:

The Effects of Mandatory Profit-Sharing on Workers and Firms: Evidence from France (read paper, PDF 981.99 KB)
